Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

What will I learn?

Globally, manufacturing is a key provider of wealth and employment. Manufacturing and mechanical engineers apply their creativity, skills and vision to work with a range of other engineers in the development of innovative and cost-effective products.

As a manufacturing and mechanical Engineer, you’ll master modern technologies and skills such as robotics, computer aided design and simulation. We offer you a rich curriculum and the resources to achieve this, accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. We will give you a significant understanding of management techniques and skills alongside these technical subjects.

You will also have the opportunity to undertake an industry placement or research internship. Many students go on to find graduate jobs with companies they have interned with, so it’s a great opportunity to take full advantage of.

How will I learn?

You will participate in lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical laboratory sessions. To help you make the transition from school to university, in your first year you will meet your personal tutor each week in a group usually of five or six students to address academic issues arising from lectures. Your tutor is there to support you throughout your university life and will especially help you to reflect upon your continuing development. Engineers are always involved in interdisciplinary group work and this forms part of our courses from year one.

How will I be assessed?

Assessment is through examinations and coursework. Coursework assessment can include laboratory reports, projects, essays and oral presentations.

What opportunities are there for work experience and study abroad?

You can gain industrial experience during your course via visits and project work. The School encourages students to undertake some form of industrial experience. Many students undertake internships and other work experience over the summer. Some students can take a year-long placement in industry or in a research environment.

Entry Requirements

A level AAA, to include A level Mathematics and Physics.

A levels in applied subjects and mixed portfolios Candidates are considered on an individual basis. Grades will be similar to those for candidates taking academic A and AS qualifications.

Applicants with a strong profile but without either A Level Physics or A Level Mathematics may be considered. Please contact ugadmissions@warwick.ac.uk prior to applying.

International Baccalaureate 38 points to include 6,6 in Mathematics and Physics. At least one of those subjects should be at Higher level.

Other Qualifications We welcome applications from students with other internationally recognised qualifications. For more information please visit the international entry requirements page.

BTECs Applicants offering BTECs are advised to contact the Undergraduate Admissions Team for further information prior to application (ugadmissions@warwick.ac.uk).

Warwick International Foundation Programme (IFP) All students who successfully complete the Warwick IFP and apply to Warwick through UCAS will receive a guaranteed conditional offer for a related undergraduate programme (selected courses only).

Further Information

Taking a gap year Applications for deferred entry are welcomed.

Open Days UK based applicants are invited to a Departmental Open Day and a number of these are scheduled during the year. If you cannot attend then the information presented will be available online. Find out more about our main University Open Days and other opportunities to visit us.

Interviews We do not typically interview applicants.Offers are made based on your predicted and actual grades, along with your personal statement. Occasionally, some applicants may be interviewed, for example candidates returning to study or those with non-standard qualifications.

What modules can I study?

Initially, all students follow the same programme covering topics which we believe are important for all engineers to understand. By the second term of Year Two you are able to specialise in Civil or switch to one of the other Engineering courses (such as: Automotive, Biomedical Systems, Electronic, Electrical and Electronic, Engineering Business Management, Mechanical, Manufacturing and Mechanical, or, Systems).

There are nine core modules in the first year which are currently:

Dynamics and Thermodynamics

Electrical and Electronic Circuits

Engineering Design

Engineering Mathematics

Introduction to Engineering Business Management

Introduction to Engineering: Professionalism and Practice

Materials for Engineering

Statics and Structures

Systems Modelling, Simulation and Computing

You are also free to take A Modern Foreign Language module as an optional extra.

In the second year there are six core modules which are currently:

Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics

Electromechanical System Design

Engineering Mathematics and Technical Computing

Industrial Engineering

Manufacturing Engineering Design

Technical Operations Management

Optional modules currently include

Failure Investigation

Introduction to Secondary School Teaching (Physics)

A Modern Foreign Language

Motor Vehicle Technology

Starting a Business

In Year 3 you will complete an individual project and study core modules of:

Automation and Robotics

CAD/CAM and Simulation

Design and Management of Lean Operations

Design for Manufacture

Lifecycle Engineering for Manufacturing Systems

Quality Techniques

Engineering is an actively developing subject and so modules listed represent those available to current students. As the subject of Engineering and our school continuously evolve, the range of modules available and the content of individual modules may change in future years. Applicants will be informed as soon as the changes are approved. Current students will be consulted prior to the changes been approved.
